Congratulations to the local grappler! May he vanquish his foes while still exhibiting the clean sports-man-ship all members of our village's athletic society have sworn to uphold.
But please, Skokie Patch, do NOT alert that dastardly podiatrist who made your front page last week. The presence of that foot-doctoring fiend and his devious Daguerreotype-ing device would be rather distasteful at such a wrest-ling match!
